Diving 2: Squid, Shrimps, Crabs, Lobsters, Eels, Turtle, Stingray

I looked up from the reef at the Fingers dive site, to see a group of seven Caribbean Reef Squid (Sepioteuthis sepioidea) in front of me.
They always seem to be backing away from you.I always feel guilty when I eat calamari now. Only one small Southern Stingray (Dasyatis americana) this time. This one was at Arashi Reef.This poor Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) had fishing line wound around its head and a front flipper at Harbour Reef.I think this is a Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris), peering out of a hole at Sponge Reef. Banded Coral Shrimps (Stenopus hispidus) were everywhere.Looking straight down onto a Yellowline arrow crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis) at Arashi Reef. You can easily make out its blue claws.A Caribbean Spiny Lobster (Panulirus argus) peers out from his hidey-hole at Fingers.As does a Green Moray Eel (Gymnothorax funebris) at Fingers.
